The HSC examination in French Beginners consists of a written paper worth 80 marks and an oral examination worth 20 marks. The oral examination is a general conversation between the candidate and an examiner, in which they discuss the candidate’s personal world as it relates to the prescribed topics in the syllabus. The marking guidelines for the oral examination are also published on the Board’s website at http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/. This specimen paper has been produced in accordance with the Board’s Principles for Setting HSC Examinations in a Standards-Referenced Framework, published in Board Bulletin Volume 8 Number 9 (Nov/Dec 1999), which is available on the Board’s website at http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/bulletins/index.html. Questions are closely related to the outcomes of the course, and the papers as a whole are structured to allow for appropriate differentiation of student performance at all levels on the performance scale. The paper has been designed so that students have a clear understanding of what they are required to do in each question, and in working through the paper. Where key words such as ‘discuss’, ‘analyse’, and ‘explain’, appear in questions, they have been used consistently in accordance with the Board’s Glossary of Key Words (available on the Board’s website at http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/). This specimen paper is one example of the type of examination that could be prepared within the examination specifications in the revised French Beginners syllabus. Examinations will be based on the syllabus, and will test a representative sample of syllabus outcomes. Therefore, the range and balance of outcomes tested in HSC examinations in 2008 and subsequent years may differ from those addressed in the specimen paper. In subsequent examinations, the style and structure of the questions may differ from those in this specimen paper. As a suite, the specimen papers for all the Beginners courses indicate a range of possible variations in terms of structure and question style. The mapping grid is an important feature of the development of the examination. It aids in ensuring that the examination as a whole samples a range of content and outcomes, and allows the full range students the opportunity to demonstrate their level of achievement. Marking guidelines are developed at the same time as the examination questions, and show the criteria to be applied to the responses to questions, together with the marks to be awarded in line with the quality of the responses. Where appropriate, a sample answer is provided. The sample answer is one example of the type of response that would be sufficient to gain full marks, and is included as an indication of the scope and depth required. For extended-response questions, performance is described at a number of levels of performance, each covering a range of marks. Marking guidelines may require some refinement at the marking centre to take account of unanticipated responses that students may present. In many cases, the standard described at each mark range will be made clear during pilot-marking by the selection of sample scripts. There are a number of points to note in considering the French Beginners specimen paper: • The French Beginners specimen paper is one of eight Beginners specimen papers. The syllabuses share a common structure, and the examination specifications are essentially the same for all eight syllabuses. The specimen examinations were developed together as a suite, so that some identical or similar items appear in a number of the specimen papers. This will not be the case for the HSC examinations. A number of the items in the papers have been sourced from recent Beginners HSC examinations, which reflects the similarities between the revised courses and the courses they replaced. • The format of the specimen paper follows the new examination specifications. The examination specifications allow variation in a number of aspects of the examination, such as the number of listening texts in Section I and the word limits for the two writing tasks in Section III. The eight Beginners specimen papers, as a suite, reflect a range of possible examinations. These aspects of HSC examination papers in 2008 and subsequent years may differ from the specimen paper. • Rubrics indicating general criteria for judging performance for extended response questions have been placed at the beginning of Parts A and B of Section III, to indicate the criteria that will be used to assess responses to the question(s). These criteria are in addition to criteria specific to each question. • Sample marking guidelines are included for one short-answer question from each of Section I – Listening and Section II – Reading, as well as for the three writing tasks in Section III. An indication of the range of marking guidelines for shortanswer questions can be gained by considering the sample Section I and Section II marking guidelines from across the suite of Beginners specimen papers.

Paris, 24 décembre 2006 Cher Joshua, J’ai presque fini mon année d’échange! Je sais que mon français s’est amélioré parce que maintenant j’arrive bien à comprendre le Journal de vingt heures! Ça, pour moi, c’est un grand succès. Aujourd’hui j’ai quitté la maison à huit heures pour aller en ville. Le métro était bondé mais tout le monde était de bonne humeur et même les étrangers souriaient. Les grands magasins venaient juste d’ouvrir et les vitrines étaient illuminées et décorées d’une manière spectaculaire! Je suis allée directement au marché de Nöel à Saint-Germain, en plein centre de Paris. À la sortie du métro, une série de petites cabanes richement décorées m’attendaient. Placées autour de l’église elles attiraient les passants par leurs couleurs vives. J’ai goûté du pain d’épice et du vin chaud et j’ai acheté des cadeaux d’adieu pour mes nouveaux amis. L’atmosphère était magique et je ne l’oublierai jamais. En France, la veille de Noël est plus importante que le jour de Noël. C’est drôle, non? Le réveillon est fêté en famille avec un grand repas traditionnel: une dinde farcie aux marrons et comme dessert, une bûche de Noël. Si j’étais en Australie, je mangerais des fruits de mer avec mes copains à la plage. Ici, toute la famille se réunit et à minuit tout le monde ira à la messe. J’aime bien cette nouvelle expérience, parce que mes parents ne sont pas croyants et je n’ai jamais été à l’église. Étant donné que c’est l’hiver, il est important de porter une écharpe, des gants et surtout un gros manteau! Qu’il fait froid ici, mais je suis heureuse de passer un Noël blanc! Je pense à vous, à Bondi, en maillot de bains et dans le surf. Donc, à très bientôt!

New Reply To: hotel.com Subject: Notre Séjour Reply All Forward Send & Receive Madame, Ma femme et moi avons récemment passé un séjour dans votre hôtel, du 4 au 6 janvier. Le personnel était très aimable et la chambre était grande et bien soignée. Nous avons eu la possibilité de faire notre réservation sur Internet, ce qui était très facile. En plus, le petit déjeuner était délicieux et nous avons apprécié les renseignements touristiques offerts. Malheureusement, nous n’étions pas tout à fait contents de notre séjour chez vous. Nous voulions une chambre double avec une vue de la rivière, mais notre chambre donnait sur le bâtiment d’en face. En plus, l’ascenseur ne marchait pas, donc nous avons dû monter nos valises au troisième étage. Je me souviens même d’une autre occasion où il n’y avait pas assez d’eau chaude pour la douche. Nous voudrions donc obtenir le remboursement d’une nuit. Dans l’attente de lire votre réponse, veuillez accepter, chère Madame, nos salutations distinguées, Christophe Martin. New Reply To: Christophe Martin Subject: Remboursement Reply All Forward Send & Receive Cher Monsieur Martin, Merci pour votre e-mail concernant votre séjour à l’Hôtel de Paris. Je suis ravie que vous avez passé un bon séjour chez nous. Je suis désolée que vous avez eu des problèmes avec votre chambre, l’ascenseur et la douche. Cependant, notre dossier électronique indique que vous n’avez fait aucune demande particulière concernant votre chambre. L’ascenseur était hors de service pendant une seule journée, et il y avait du personnel supplémentaire pour aider les clients à monter leurs bagages. Nous avons expliqué à tous nos clients qu’il faudrait patienter s’ils avaient besoin d’aide. Quant à la douche, le conseil municipal avait coupé l’eau pour faire des réparations. Malheureusement, nous ne pouvons donc pas vous offrir un remboursement. Par contre, si vous décidez de faire un autre séjour chez nous, nous vous offrirons une remise de 10% et le petit déjeuner gratuit. Cordialement, Nadine Pillier, Directrice.

Lorsqu’ils rentrent chez eux après l’école, ils passent des heures à l’ordinateur, et après le dîner, ils regardent la télé. Les médecins recommendent que les jeunes doivent faire de l’exercice au moins 3 fois par semaine. Alors pourquoi ne pas devenir membre de notre gymnase aujourd’hui? Nous offrons des programmes spéciaux pour les jeunes. Profitez-en! Question 2 Nouvelles de France! Un nouvel hôtel de luxe uniquement pour les chiens vient juste d’ouvrir à Paris. Votre chien peut maintenant partir en vacances, tout seul. Il y a une piscine, un restaurant et un salon de beauté à cet hotel. Alors, bonnes vacances Fifi! Question 3 Vous avez besoin d’argent de poche? Nous recherchons pour notre magasin à l’aéroport du personnel qui peut travailler à mi-temps, tard le soir et pendant le weekend. Aucune expérience n’est nécessaire. Nous avons besoin de personnes aimables qui parlent une langue étrangère. Si vous voulez plus de renseignements visitez notre site internet: www.airportdutyfree.fr Question 4 MALE: Bonjour. Je cherche à louer un appartement pas loin de l’université. FEMALE: Il y un appartement au rez-de-chaussée, avenue de la République, qui est quinze minutes à pied de l’université. J’ai quelques photos ici sur l’ordinateur. Vous voulez les regarder? MALE: Oui. Mmm … voyons. La salle de bains est bien éclairée, mais la cuisine est trop petite. J’aime bien faire la cuisine, donc ça va être difficile. FEMALE: Alors, celui-ci, rue de la Gare? C’est à seulement 5 minutes à pied. La cuisine est assez grande, non? MALE: C’est super. Mais la salle de bains n’est pas moderne, et aussi il est au quatrième étage et il n’y a pas d’ascenseur. –2– 2008 HSC Specimen Paper Question 5 FEMALE: Mais David, qu’est-ce que tu fais devant l’ordinateur? Il est 5 heures du matin. MALE: Mais maman, je dois finir mon devoir de géo pour aujourd’hui. FEMALE: Comme d’habitude, tu laisses tout à la dernière minute. MALE: Mais c’est pas de ma faute, maman! Le soir, je ne peux jamais me servir de l’Internet. C’est toujours toi ou papa qui l’utilise. En plus, la connection est tellement lente. Je n’ai pas le temps d’attendre! FEMALE: Alors, on te le laisse pendant une heure chaque soir? MALE: C’est mieux que rien. Question 6 MALE: Salut, Christine. Tu vas choisir le basket comme sport? FEMALE: Je ne sais pas encore, Paul. J’adore le basket, mais j’en joue déjà après l’école. Un autre sport serait super, alors peut-être je vais jouer au volley. MALE: Au volley? Tu rigoles? Il faut s’entraîner trois matins par semaine. FEMALE: Vraiment? T’en es sûr? Je ne savais pas. Et moi, qui arrive à l’école juste avant le premier cours! Peut-être je vais faire le bowling parce que c’est l’été et le centre est climatisé. MALE: Non, pas le bowling! Il y a trop de bruit et ça coûte 9 euros par semaine. FEMALE: Oh là là! C’est cher. Et la danse? MALE: Il n’y aura pas de garçons! Ils détestent la danse! FEMALE: Alors, je vais continuer à jouer au basket! –3– 2008 HSC Specimen Paper Question 7 MALE: Madame, s’il vous plaît, pouvez-vous vérifier ces formulaires pour moi? FEMALE: C’est l’heure du déjeuner maintenant. Pourquoi ne m’as-tu pas demandé cela en classe? MALE: J’ai oublié, Madame. Je suis désolé, mais la compétition est dans un mois. FEMALE: Alors, laisse les formulaires ici. Je vais le faire demain. Maintenant je prends mon déjeuner. MALE: Mais Madame, je dois les envoyer aujourd’hui! Il faut qu’ils arrivent à temps. FEMALE: Mais ça fait déjà trois semaines que tu as ces documents! MALE: S’il vous plaît, Madame. C’est urgent. FEMALE: Le mois dernier tu m’as demandé de t’aider avec tes devoirs au dernier moment. Bon! Donne-les moi maintenant et reviens cet après-midi. Je ne suis pas du tout contente! Question 8 FEMALE: Excusez-moi, Monsieur. C’est bien la queue pour acheter les billets pour le Louvre? MALE: Oui. Malheureusement, il y a beaucoup de monde aujourd’hui. Il faudra patienter. Vous êtes touristes? FEMALE: Nous sommes des étudiantes australiennes. MALE: Alors, vous devriez acheter une carte d’entrée pour trois jours pour 20 euros. Vous pouvez visiter plus de 70 musées, si vous voulez. FEMALE: Bien, c’est pas cher. Et il ne faut pas faire la queue? MALE: Non. Vous pouvez acheter la carte à l’Office du Tourisme. Si vous l’achetez maintenant, vous pouvez entrer immédiatement. FEMALE: Merci, Monsieur. Je le fais tout de suite. –4– 2008 HSC Specimen Paper Question 9 FEMALE: Bonjour, Hôtel Beau Rivage. MALE: Oui, vous avez des chambres libres pour ce soir? Je voudrais une chambre avec une vue sur la rivière. FEMALE: Oui, nous avons une chambre pour deux personnes mais elle donne sur la gare. C’est 150 euros. MALE: C’est un peu cher. Je peux vous rappeler? FEMALE: Je peux aussi vous offrir le petit déjeuner si vous désirez, et deux billets pour le concert de Vanessa Paradis ce soir. MALE: Mmmm … Bien, je la prends. FEMALE: Bien sûr, Monsieur. Votre nom s’il vous plaît? Question 10 FEMALE: Martin, c’est moi! J’ai passé une mauvaise journée. MALE: Qu’est-ce qui s’est passé, chérie? FEMALE: Le directeur est très arrogant. Il ne dit jamais merci et il se plaint toujours. Je pense que je vais quitter mon boulot … MALE: Mais Simone, tu es bien payée et c’est tout près, seulement 10 minutes en voiture. Réfléchis bien! Si tu changes d’emploi, tu devras peut-être conduire plus longtemps, et tu seras encore plus fatiguée. FEMALE: Oui, mais je ne suis pas du tout heureuse. MALE: Et tes collègues? Tu les aimes bien, non? FEMALE: Oui, tu as raison, mais la situation est impossible. Je le déteste. –5– 2008 HSC Specimen Paper Question 11 FEMALE: Salut, Christophe! Ça va ta nouvelle maison? MALE: Super. Elle est beaucoup plus grande que la dernière et il y a deux salles de bains, donc il n’y a plus de problèmes le matin. FEMALE: Tu as beaucoup de chance! Avoir une grande maison, ça c’est mon rêve! MALE: Oui Odile, c’est génial. Si mes amis viennent me voir, on peut regarder la télévision en bas et le bruit ne dérange pas mes parents.

If an item is shown as targeting Bands 3–5, it indicates that candidates who demonstrate overall performance equivalent to the Band 3 descriptions should be able to score some marks on the item, while those who perform at Band 5 or above could reasonably be expected to gain high marks on the item. In the case of one-mark items, candidates who demonstrate performance at or above the bands shown could usually be expected to answer the item correctly.
